Prior to the Watson injury, McDuffie was still being used about 1/3 of the time in the slot, and those are likely usually in those 3rd and short situations that are just killing us right now. Watson being replaced by Johnson has hurt, for sure. But I think we've seen a real fall off in McDuffie over that period of time as well because he's being used almost exclusively out wide and so teams are attacking that lack of length. Like you said, it's a real domino effect that's just made everything worse.

Yep, off the top of my head, Ravens, Bengals and Jets all took a significant step back on defense as well despite retaining the majority of their core players.

I would think after this season there would be some hard conversation about this because there's some massive holes in this defense now

Chris Jones has 51 pressures per PFF which is 2nd to Zach Allen who has more pass rush attempts.
The guy is getting double-teamed every play and some plays he’s triple teamed. Gotta have a DE win their 1v1 reps more often like here. Hilarious watching the Panthers have 3 guys block Chris

The DEs have been incredibly average this year, in FAU's case poor. If Watson is back, McDuffie shifts to slot etc then it'd go a long way. But either way we're going to need to put more resource into the DL, again. |

If O City is right and Karlaftis fetches 20m per year, and I doubt he does, I'd go nowhere near it unless there's a big uptick his last 2 years. He ain't that player.

The arc he was on prior to this season would’ve gotten him 20mm per. His statistical drop off this season will very likely change that.

They're in the slop in the middle where the OL can keep their hands relatively close to the body and still get a hold in there without getting caught. There's a reason guys that create pressure from the interior are so rare. It's just damn hard to pull off.

Dj has it right that Karlaftis is your typical strong side DE. He's basically that to a T.
What you need on the back side is.....well Uche. A guy that threatens the Tackle with speed. Omenihu will help if he's physically ok. |
